2021’s Cheesiest Cities in America: 2 WI Cities Made The List

ACROSS WISCONSIN — What are the cheesiest cities in America? Hint: If you think they’re all in Dairy States, you don’t know jack (cheese, that is).

And why would anyone rank 2021’s Best Cities for Cheese Lovers? Well, our fondue-ness for cheese has only grown greater during the pandemic.

In recent months, cheese has been flying off the shelves, as Americans try to ease their pandemic pain.

With that in mind, LawnStarter ranked the 200 biggest U.S. cities based on 10 cheesy factors — from the availability of fondue restaurants and Cheesecake Factory locations to average cost to the number of cheese-related events.

This should come as no surprise, but two Wisconsin cities made the top of the list.

Madison finished runner-up on the list, as it is tops for total cheese-related events and No. 2 for total cheese classes and cheese factories.

Milwaukee landed at No. 13. Green Bay, however didn’t make the cut at all, but if you’re a true Cheesehead, you know the city and state are packed with fans of the dairy products.

Wisconsin is by far the largest manufacturer of cheese, producing more than a quarter of all America’s cheese. This beats out even much larger states like California or Texas.
